　午後，龍貓大王在msn上簡單分享了某個我不認識的團(clazziquai project)、小田和正、安室奈美惠以及竹內瑪麗亞的新專輯試聽感想。因為一句「竹內瑪麗亞還是那個調調」，就接著聊到音樂人的變與不變要怎麼拿捏，才不會讓歌迷覺得是換湯不換藥抑或喪失原有風格特色。

　這是個看似簡單又極其複雜的問題。簡單的是我們都了解「世界上沒有任何事物能同時討好全部的人」這個道理，因此，忠於自我或許就是對待自己或這個世界最棒的方式；而複雜的，則是面對「自我的發揮卻仍確實地被掌控在身邊的人、社會機制或遊戲規則中」這個無奈，得歷經太多的苦痛才有機會可以be yourself。

　對音樂我是隨便的，不過我對於第一次接觸就感動的那命運性的一曲或一CD會比較執著，也就是比起不停聆聽喜愛藝人推出的新歌，不時回頭去找會帶來回憶的歌/專輯，反而是我更常做的事情。於是，對於變或不變，我沒有結論，倒是龍貓給了個很不錯的答案：「唱得久的，超過40歲的歌手就不用變了...」XD

　說到回首，講到歌還是老得好，我就想到了高三時認識的DJ阿森的開小西洋唱片行的朋友阿KI在我「我想要買一張收錄很多混音版本的好聽舒服唱片」的要求下推薦的moloko的sing it back(下圖右版)。

When you are ready, I will surrender
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees

Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing

(Sing it back to me)
(Sing it back to me)

Come to my sweet melody (repeat)
No, you can't help it if you feel have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody

Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
(Sing it back to me)

Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
